With a odd 70 degree day last week, we took advantage of the weather and headed down to the zoo. It was a perfect day - all the animals were out and playing, the wind was balmy and the zoo was almost deserted! Which gave us the chance to have this special experience: we were the only ones in the ape house, and the Mama ape spotted the kids and headed over to "sit" with them. (The zoo keeper warned me to stay back because she doesn't like adults!) The kids pretended to scratch her back through the glass...they loved it, and she seemed to enjoy it too. They also got a close up look in her ears and fur, it was pretty great!
